Discussion on: Medium Was Never Meant to Be a Part of the Developer Ecosystem

I used to like Medium because of its minimal UI. But its UX now-days is really sub-par with its annoying pop-ups and limited capabilities for editing rich text.

I still use it for Index Zero (I write articles explaining computer science concepts) because it does have a pretty UI and my articles rely heavily on pictures and not much code. I actually like how the landing/home page looks.

But if I am writing articles where code is important and I need to be able to communicate things quickly, I use Dev.to.

I took a look at Index Zero. Nice job! Have you considered some sort of video like format as well for your content?

Thanks!

A video format would be interesting but I feel like at least for me personally I prefer static content to video content. I just feels easier to process because I can sort of move through the content at whatever speed I want, if that makes sense.

That is true. I just thought with your illustrations and explaining it could be a nice fit (ex. Khan Academy like).
